Coeur d Alene, Idaho

Wow! The best scone I have ever had. I never really liked scones before but these are a keeper. I usually substitute the raisins for 2 cups of blueberries. They are a little hard to get the dough mixed with more berries than the recipe calls for, but they sure taste fantastic. The family absolutely loved them. I make a frosting of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and several drops of milk for my husband to top them off with as he is a frosting lover

I've been making this dish for years, I start slicing the dried beef, them plunging it briefly into boiling water to remove some of the salt, then saute it in butter, add cornstarch then milk till ti thickens to desired consistency. season w/a bit of white pepper... that's the authentic way to make it!

This was definitely happy shrimp! Happy mouth anyway! I was making it for 5 of us and was glad that I saw others say it didn't make all that much! I doubled it, plus used a whole pint of whipping cream instead of the 2/3 it would have been doubled. There was just enough with one serving left, which I am sure someone will snag for lunch tomorrow! I did not put the basil, tomatoes or green onion in until the cream had thickened. I didn't think those ingredients should cook so long. I put them in right at the end. I added a 1/3 cup parmesan cream and a little pinch of red pepper flakes also. I served it over angel hair pasta. Was amazing!!
